1 CITY OF DICKINSON DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL ()

2 I. INTRODUCTION Purpose This DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL (the Manual ) provides design guidance for use by developers and engineers in preparation of drainage plans for development within the City of Dickinson (the City ). It establishes rules and regulations that must be consistently followed and will be enforced throughout the City s jurisdiction including the portions of the Dickinson Bayou watershed lying within the City s boundaries. The design methods presented in this manual are intended to provide guidance for determination of runoff rates; methods of storm water collection, conveyance, and detention; and design standards for facilities (ditches, ponds, detention basins, etc.). Methods of design and analysis other than those included in this Manual may be considered in certain cases where there may be inherent problems with the traditional methods. However, any deviation from this Manual will require consideration and acceptance by the City before approval will be granted for any work based on these alternatives. Policy Due to the nature of the watershed hydraulics within the City s boundaries and the prevalent existence of flood plains that exceed the banks of the creeks, it shall be the policy of the City to maintain zero net increase in storm water runoff rates and to insure no negative impacts attributable to new development and redevelopment that increases impervious cover by at least five percent (5%). Although it is the City s long-term goal to construct and maintain facilities (i.e., channels and regional detention facilities) that will contain 100-year storm flows within drainage rights-of-way, it is recognized that further impacts to the existing system cannot be tolerated. Therefore, the current City policy is based upon an on-site detention storm water management policy. Strict adherence to this policy will insure that existing runoff rates will not increase as a byproduct of development, and therefore no off-site impacts will be developed. It is further recognized that impacts to other land owners and jurisdictions outside of the City s boundaries are unacceptable, and the City believes that this policy will effectively eliminate any such out-of-district impacts. It is the goal of the City to support channel improvements of the major Creeks within its jurisdiction in general conformance with the adopted regional Master Plan. The City will also support and cooperate with the other governmental entities including the City of League City, City of Santa Fe, City of Texas City, Galveston County, Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District, Galveston County Drainage District No. 1, Galveston County Drainage District No. 2 and Brazoria County Conservation and Reclamation District No. 3 to improve local drainage. Individual developers must provide infrastructure required to meet the City s stated objective of zero net increase in runoff rates and no negative impacts. Practically, this Page 2 of 44

3 will mean that developers will provide adequate on-site detention volume to off-set increased runoff rates and must provide compensating storage volume for all fill placed in the floodplain. The City will require separate off-line detention facilities, and no in-line detention scenarios will be approved. Additionally, development in the delineated floodway will be restricted by the City. This Manual also establishes minimum right-of-way requirements for certain ditches, channels and bayous within the City s jurisdiction. These minimum right-of-way requirements are based upon past engineering studies, and generally allow for conveyance of the projected 100-year flow in a ditch section that can readily be accessed and maintained by the City. Jurisdiction The area within the City of Dickinson boundary is drained entirely by the Dickinson Bayou. Subdivisions and other developments in the area that are not located directly on this major drainage artery generally drain by man-improved or man-made ditches and storm sewers which convey the rainfall runoff to the major drainage artery. The City of Dickinson is responsible for the maintenance of those drainage ways that drain City road rights-of-way (within rights of way and identified in the Master Plan) within its City Limits. Watersheds The City s service area covers approximately 12 square miles and lies in north central Galveston County. Historically, this service area was primarily rural agricultural, but recent growth in the area is changing the land use to urban development at an increasing rate. The City s boundaries include a portion of one major watershed: Dickinson Bayou. Dickinson Bayou Dickinson Bayou watershed covers the entire City service area. Dickinson Bayou drains surface water from Alvin, Friendswood, League City, Santa Fe, Dickinson and unincorporated Galveston County as it flows from its upstream end in Brazoria County to its outfall in Galveston Bay (approximately 22 miles in length). The topography of the Dickinson Bayou basin is relatively flat, soils are typically low permeable clays, and land use includes agricultural, some light industrial/commercial and residential development. The main channel of Dickinson Bayou is generally unimproved, and while some individual land owners have cleared underbrush along the banks, there has been no major effort by any jurisdictional entity to realign, widen or otherwise change the natural channel.

9 detention mitigation volume and outflow rates determined in Section VI may be provided through a combination of LID measures and a detention facility. Maintenance and inspection of all LID measures shall be completed at the property owner s expense and shall not be the responsibility of the City. Documentation of all periodic inspections and maintenance shall be kept onsite by the property owner. Infiltration Trenches a. Overview Infiltration Trenches are applicable for both water quality and water quantity control practices. b. Design Criteria (1) In-situ subsoil will have a minimum infiltration rate of 0.5 inches per hour. Geotechnical testing including one boring per 5000 square feet or two per project is required to confirm infiltration rate. (2) Subsurface drainage systems are required where the in-situ subsoil rate is less than 0.5 inches per hour or where the project is constructed on fill soils. (3) Avoid placement on slopes greater than 15% in fill areas. (4) Trench area must be designed to empty with 48 hours. (5) Backfill using clean aggregate larger than 1.5 and smaller than 3 surrounded by engineered filter fabric. (6) Provide overflow structure or channel to accommodate larger runoff events. (7) Provide 4 PVC observation well into subgrade. (8) Runoff from commercial areas and parking lots require pretreatment; grass buffer strip or vegetated swabs, prior to draining into infiltration trench. (9) Locate bottom of facility at least 4 ft. above seasonal high water table elevation. (10) Locate at least 100 ft. from any water supply well. (11) Maximum contributing drainage area is 5 acres or less. (12) Mitigating detention volume can be reduced by the amount of infiltration into the subsoil and the volume of voids within the trench area. c. Inspection and Maintenance Requirements Inspect observation well for water level and drainage times. Conduct landscaping, mowing, and desilting of facility. Hard Roof a. Overview Horizontal roof surfaces can be used to attenuate peak runoff associated with rainfall and effectively detain flow resulting from smaller rain events. The detention volume can be controlled in several ways, but typically a simple drain ring is placed around the roof drains. As storm water begins to pond on the roof, Page 9 of 44

10 flow into the roof drains is controlled by orifices or slits in the drain ring. Extreme flows can be designed to overflow the ring and drain directly to the roof drains or be directed to openings in the parapet walls to prevent structural and flood damage to the roof. The roof deck must be designed to withstand the live load and be properly waterproofed. b. Design Criteria (1) The structural capability of the roof system must be considered when designing a temporary rooftop storage system and must comply with applicable building codes. For example, a three inch water depth is equivalent to a load of 15.6 lbs/sq.ft., which is less than most current building code requirements for live loads. (2) Consideration must be given to the placement of electrical devices on the roof, such as air conditioning or ventilation systems and lights, and proper measures must be taken to protect the electrical devices from the collected water. (3) Overflow mechanisms will be provided so that there is no danger of overloading the roof storage system during major storms. Additionally, roof slopes must be designed to drain positively toward the roof drains to help minimize localized roof ponding or bird bath formation after the detained water volume is released. (4) The adopted building codes used by the City of Dickinson will be used for additional structural criteria along with ASCE Standard Reference Number 7, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. (5) The amount of credit given for detention volume for rooftop storage must take into account that many flat roofs already pond significant amounts of water although not by design. Therefore, when measuring credit given for hard roof detention volume, it is recommended that credit only be given for the total rooftop storage volume less the rooftop storage volume associated with the first inch of rain. Typically, rooftop storage volumes are only effective during the smaller, more frequent rainfall events as the larger, less frequent storms typically exceed the rooftop storage capacity. c. Inspection and Maintenance Requirements (1) Each hard roof installation will be inspected by the City Inspector and/or City Engineer to check compliance with the approved drawings before final acceptance is issued. At a minimum, the following items will be checked during the inspection: (a) Roof penetrations for ventilation, electrical or plumbing connections to verify proper sealing against leaks. (b) The overflow system that drains excessive rainfall off of the hard roof once the maximum storage volume is captured. (c) Certification from a Professional Engineer licensed to practice in the State of Texas or Architect registered to practice in the State Page 10 of 44

11 of Texas that the hard roof, drain system and appurtenances have been installed and operate as designed. (d) Drawings of the hard roof installation. (2) Once the hard roof is installed, additional inspections will be required in order to properly maintain the drainage system and roof membrane. Routine inspections must be conducted and associated maintenance activities performed by the property owner on the following: (a) Designated drainage paths and drainage system components must be inspected to ensure proper surface drainage is maintained and that the roof is draining properly after the collected storm water volume is released from a rainfall event. (b) Routine inspections to collect and remove any trash or debris from the roof must be conducted to prevent clogging of the roof drains and overflow drainage system. (c) Visible cracks in the roof surface must be identified and repaired in accordance with the roof manufacturer s recommendations in order to maintain roof integrity. Green Roof a. Overview A green roof, in simplest terms, is a vegetated roof. The vegetation varies, but must be suitable to the local climate and be drought tolerant, unless a method of irrigation is also installed. Installation generally consists of a waterproof membrane installed over a suitably constructed roof deck. For in-situ installations, an under-drain drainage system is installed over the membrane. A lightweight engineered soil is installed on top of the under-drain, as fill dirt or topsoil is typically too heavy to use in rooftop applications. The engineered soil is then planted with select vegetation. If a modular system is selected, the drainage system may already be incorporated into the design, along with the soil and vegetation, depending on the manufacturer. The substrate material and depth are also factors that influence the efficiency of the green roof to store and/ or treat storm water. Roofs consisting of relatively thin soil layers, called extensive roofs, are not as heavy as the intensive roofs, which are covered with thicker soil layers. b. Design Criteria (1) Vegetation suitable to the climate and preferably a species that is drought tolerant, unless a method of irrigation is provided, must be installed. The effect of wind on the vegetation must also be considered when selecting the roof foliage, as wind velocities are typically higher at rooftop elevations. (2) The amount of credit given for the rainfall amount stored will be as prescribed by the manufacturer for a modular system. (3) The amount of credit given for the rainfall amount stored for nonmodular systems will be calculated for the engineered soil. The rate will be derived by in-situ porosity testing. The porosity test will be Page 11 of 44

12 performed four times with the first time results being discarded and the three remaining results averaged. The test will require the first sample remain wet a minimum of 1 hour. The subsequent porosity tests will be performed the same day. In no case will the storage volume be credited more than 33% of total volume, as that is the assumed volume of clean graded washed gravel. (4) The roof membrane must be sufficiently designed and installed to pond a minimum of 1-inch of water at the most shallow point on the roof for 24 hours without leaks. This must be tested in the same manner as shower pans are tested under the building code. Additionally, special consideration must be given for the plant root structure and prevention of soil migration during membrane selection. A root barrier may also be required to protect the waterproof membrane integrity. (5) The under-drain drainage system must be designed for the selected plant s tolerance for drought and varying soil moisture contents by maintaining the proper balance of moisture and aerobic conditions within the soil media for optimum vegetation sustainability. Design provisions must address higher volume rainfall events to keep excessive amounts of water from ponding on top of the soil, to prevent erosion, and to prevent soil media saturation for extended periods. Structural calculations will be submitted that demonstrate the structure s ability to sustain the additional loading of the green roof appurtenances plus the maximum water weight that could be stored. c. Inspection and Maintenance Requirements (1) A maintenance plan for the green roof system must be developed in accordance with the membrane manufacturer s instructions and plant species selected. At a minimum, maintenance inspections must be performed at least four times per year. The maintenance plan must include provisions for vegetation maintenance and replacement as needed to maintain a minimum 80% coverage/survival rate in order to sustain storm water quality and/or detention credits. Irrigation may be required initially in order to establish the roof vegetation and to supply water under severe drought conditions. Any requirements for initial or intermittent use of fertilizer and pesticides for disease or insect control must be identified in the plan. Plant species must be carefully selected to minimize intermittent fertilizer and pesticide applications. (2) Each green roof installation will be inspected by the agency responsible for issuing the storm water quality or detention credits to check compliance with the approved drawings before final acceptance is issued and the proper credits are approved. At a minimum, the following items must be checked during the inspection: Page 12 of 44

13 (a) Results from porosity testing (for non-modular installations). (b) Certification from a Professional Engineer licensed to practice in the State of Texas or Architect registered to practice in the State of Texas that the green roof, including membrane, drain system and engineered soil system, was installed per the approved (permitted) drawings and operates as designed. (c) Drawings of the green roof installation. (3) Once the green roof is installed and established, additional inspections will be required in order to properly maintain the vegetation, drainage system and roof membrane. Routine inspections must be conducted and associated maintenance activities performed by the property owner on the following: (a) Joints at adjoining walls, roof penetrations for vents, electrical and air conditioning conduits must be inspected regularly for leaks. The ceilings located directly below the green roof installation must also be visually inspected for signs of water staining or leaking. (b) Designated drainage paths and drainage system components must be inspected to ensure proper surface drainage is maintained and that the soil layer is drained to prevent excessively saturated soils. Vegetation selected to tolerate drought conditions may rot or die if the soil is allowed to become saturated for extended periods. (c) Vegetation must be visually inspected to identify weeds, accumulated trash or debris, dead or dying vegetation, disease or other infestation problems requiring maintenance attention. Weeds and dead vegetation must be removed on a regular basis, especially right after the roof is planted. If a certain plant or grass species continues to die, that plant or grass must be removed and replaced with a more tolerant species. Certified professionals will be used to apply chemical applications for the control of disease or insects at trouble spot locations. (d) Trimming and pruning will be done in accordance with horticulture practices to keep vegetation aesthetically groomed. Porous Pavement a. Overview Porous Pavement consists of a permeable surface course that allows infiltration of storm water runoff into a permeable layer of uniformly graded stone bed. The pavement surface may either be soft (grass) or hard (concrete, asphalt or advance gravel systems). The underlying permeable layer serves as a storage reservoir for runoff and/or infiltration. Porous Pavement is applicable for both water quality and water quantity control practices. Page 13 of 44

14 b. Design Criteria (1) In-situ subsoil will have a minimum infiltration rate of 0.5 inches per hour. Geotechnical testing including one boring per 5000 square feet or two per project is required to confirm infiltration rate. (2) Subsurface drainage systems are required where the in-situ subsoil rate is less than 0.5 inches per hour or where the project is constructed on fill soils. (3) Will be limited to lightly traveled surfaces such as parking pads in parking lots, trails and sidewalks. Porous pavement is not permitted for residential driveways (area of pavement likely to be coated or paved over because of a lack of awareness) and commercial areas designed for heavy traffic volume and/or vehicles. (4) Typical section of porous pavement and underlying permeable stone bed is shown on Figure 1 followed by a description of each layer of material. (5) Subsurface drainage systems are required to be drained in 48 hours. (6) If the volume of storage within the voids of the subsurface drainage system s stone bed meets the detention volume rate of 0.5 acre-feet per acre of development or 0.2 acre-feet per acre for tracts less than one acre, the area of the porous pavement is considered undeveloped. Otherwise, the total voids storage volume will be credited toward the required detention volume. (7) If the time of concentration (Tc) from a project site that includes porous pavement and subsurface drainage system, is equal to the undeveloped time of concentration, the development of the project site is considered undeveloped. (8) Soft porous pavement area will be considered undeveloped. (9) The cross-section typically consists of four layers. The aggregate reservoir can sometimes be avoided or minimized if the sub-grade is sandy and there is adequate time to infiltrate the necessary runoff volume into the sandy soil without by-passing the water quality volume. A description of each of the layers is presented below: Porous Concrete Layer The porous concrete layer consists of an open-graded concrete mixture usually ranging from depths of 2 to 4 inches depending on required bearing strength and pavement design requirements. Porous concrete can be assumed to contain 18 percent voids (porosity = 0.18) for design purposes. Thus, for example, a 4 inch thick porous concrete layer would hold 0.72 inches of rainfall. The omission of the fine aggregate provides the porosity of the porous pavement. To provide a smooth riding surface and to enhance handling and placement a coarse aggregate of 3/8 inch maximum size is normally used. Top Filter Layer Consists of a 0.5 inch diameter crushed stone to a depth of 1 to 2 inches. This layer serves to stabilize the porous Page 14 of 44

15 concrete layer. Top filter layer can be combined with reservoir layer using suitable stone. Reservoir Layer The reservoir gravel base course consists of washed, bank-run gravel, 1.5 to 2.5 inches in diameter with a void space of about 40 %. The depth of this layer depends on the desired storage volume, which is a function of the soil infiltration rate and void spaces, but typically ranges from two to four feet. The layer must have a minimum depth of nine inches. The layer will be designed to drain completely in 48 hours. The layer will be designed to store at a minimum the water quality volume (WQv). Aggregate contaminated with soil must not be used. A porosity value (void space/total volume) of 0.32 must be used in calculations unless aggregate specific data exist. Bottom Filter Layer The surface of the subgrade must be a 6 inch layer of sand (ASTM C-33 concrete sand) or a 2 inch thick layer of 0.5 inch crushed stone, and be completely flat to promote infiltration across the entire surface. This layer serves to stabilize the reservoir layer, to protect the underlying soil from compaction, and act as the interface between the reservoir layer and the filter fabric covering the underlying soil. Filter Fabric It is very important to line the entire trench area, including the sides, with filter fabric prior to placement of the aggregate. The filter fabric serves a very important function by inhibiting soil from migrating into the reservoir layer and reducing storage capacity. Fabric used must be MIRFI # 14 N or equivalent. Underlying Soil The underlying soil must have an infiltration capacity of at least 0.5 in/hr, but preferably greater than 0.50 in/hr. as initially determined from NRCS soil textural classification, and subsequently confirmed by field geotechnical tests. The minimum geotechnical testing is one test hole per 5000 square feet, with a minimum of two borings per facility (taken within the proposed limits of the facility). Infiltration trenches cannot be used in fill soils. Soils at the lower end of this range may not be suited for a full infiltration system. Test borings are recommended to determine the soil classification, seasonal high ground water table elevation, and impervious substrata, and an initial estimate of permeability. Often a double-ring infiltrometer test is done at subgrade elevation to determine the impermeable layer, and for safety, one-half the measured value is allowed for infiltration calculations.

16 c. Inspection and Maintenance Requirements (1) Initial inspection of porous pavement to be conducted by the property owner shall be monthly for the first three months post construction. (2) Property owner shall be required to conduct semi-annual inspections to ensure pavement surface is free of sediment. (3) Property owner must vacuum sweep hard porous pavement followed by high pressure hosing to keep voids free of sediment quarterly. (4) Property owner must annually inspect pavement surface and subsurface drainage system (if any) for deterioration, spalling or malfunctioning. Drainage Plan Approval The City shall provide comments to the applicant as soon as possible after submittal. Once all comments have been addressed and the Drainage Plan has been approved by the City, the related plat will be placed on a Planning and Zoning Commission agenda. The Drainage Plan must be approved before the P&Z will take final action on the related plat. Project Acceptance Upon completion of all construction improvements, the applicant shall contact the City for an inspection of the project. Upon successful final inspection, the applicant must submit one copy of the as-built plans to the City. Page 16 of 44

17 The City will require the developer to provide a one year maintenance period upon completion of the improvements. Correction of any deficiencies discovered on the final inspection will begin the maintenance period. After one year the City will re-inspect the facility. A letter of final acceptance will be issued after correction of any deficiencies which will promptly be corrected by the developer before City release. Maintenance of Storm Water Storage Facilities (Detention Ponds) For the purpose of this section, a storm water storage facility shall mean an engineered system serving as a storm runoff collection and storage facility. In each case where an on-site storm water storage facility is provided pursuant to this Manual, the Developer shall furnish evidence of acceptance for maintenance of such storage facility from the entity having authority to perform such service. All facilities are to be maintained privately. Evidence of dedication and provision of maintenance of such facilities must be provided to the City before final acceptance will be issued. Revisions to Drainage Plans All revisions to the approved drainage plan must be approved by the City. The City may require a re-submittal of a drainage plan or plat dependent upon the character and extent of the changes made as determined by the City. Page 17 of 44

18 III. PRIVATE AND PUBLIC UTILITY CROSSINGS Utility, Pipeline, and Cable Crossing All utilities, pipelines, and cable crossings, either publicly or privately owned, shall obtain a permit from the City prior to any construction to cross any drainage facility within the City boundaries. All utilities, pipelines, and cables shall cross City facility within 20 degrees of perpendicular to that facility. No utility, pipeline, or cable shall be located within and parallel to a creek right-of-way without specific approval of the City Council. Submittal Procedures shall be the same as required for plats and plans. Application fees are as stated in the Master Fee Schedule located on file in the City s office. Review Procedure Three copies of plans, plats, reports, and calculations shall be submitted for review. The City Engineer and the Administrative Official shall review the submitted materials and either approve, disapprove or specify changes to be made to comply with this rule for approval. Submittal Top of utility, pipeline, or cable shall be a minimum of five (5) feet below the existing flowline of the channel being crossed, or five (5) feet below the projected flowline of the channel as provided by the City Engineer. Proposed utility, pipeline, or cable must stay at this depth for the entire width of existing easement, and then may be sloped towards the ground surface at a slope not to exceed 3:1. All pipelines with a working pressure exceeding 200 pounds per square inch shall be constructed with a concrete pad over the line. Pads shall extend a minimum of one (1) foot on either side of edge of pipeline for the total length of the City s easement, and shall be six (6) inches thick. Top surface of pad shall be a minimum of five (5) feet below the existing flowline of the channel being crossed, or five (5) feet below the projected flowline of the channel as provided by the most recent available information. The City may release the requirement for a concrete pad if the pipeline is directionally drilled under easement and is at least ten (10) feet below the existing flowline of the channel being crossed, or ten (10) feet below the projected flowline of the channel as provided by the most recently available information. Benchmark and survey requirements will comply with those listed for drainage plans.

20 IV. HYDROLOGY Hydrology is the study of precipitation. Policy makers and engineers must study and understand hydrology because they are interested in designing and building structures and systems to safely convey and discharge precipitation runoff while minimizing the potential of flooding. They must determine how much water should be collected and conveyed or stored, how fast this process must take place, how much can be safely discharged without adversely impacting surrounding properties, and what are other effects of the development being considered. The following sections discuss specific parameters and methods to be used in analyzing proposed developments in the City s service area. Storm Frequency All drainage improvements shall, at the minimum, be designed for the following storm frequencies. The return intervals listed here are minimums, and the individual design engineer or the City may choose to exceed these minimums given site specific requirements or constraints. Type of Facility Closed Conduit Storm Sewers (for new developments) Ditch Culverts (serving less than 50 acres) Ditch Culverts (serving 50 to 100 acres) Ditch Culverts (serving 100 acres or more) Bridges crossing City Ditches Major Ditches and City Channels Detention Facilities Return Interval Storm 3-year 5-year 25-year 50-year 100-year 100-year 100-year Peak Storm Runoff Rates The Rational Method can be used for determining peak runoff flow rate for both existing and proposed conditions. These peak runoff rates are used to estimate the impact of development and the conveyance requirements for drainage improvements. This method is applicable for small to medium drainage areas (generally less than 200 acres) where the flow domain is typically overland sheet flow or shallow surface ditch flow. Other methods should be used to estimate peak runoff rates for larger areas or those served by well defined channels where flow routing in defined channels may be significant. The Rational Method takes the following form: Q = C f * (C * I * A) Page 20 of 44

21 Where: Q = Peak Runoff Flow Rate (cfs) C = Runoff Coefficient, See ATTACHMENT A C f = Frequency factor (the product of C f and C should not exceed 1.0) A = Area of drainage basin being studied (acres) I = Rainfall Intensity of the design storm (inches/hour) Frequency Factor (C f ) The Frequency Factor is used in the Rational Method to scale the magnitude of the peak runoff in relationship to the return interval of the storm consistent with observed runoff data. This adjustment factor is used to account for the effects of antecedent moisture conditions that are generally associated with the less frequent storms. Appropriate values of C f are presented in the following table. Storm Frequency Frequency Factor (C f ) The product of C f and C used in the Rational Method should not exceed 1.0. Basin Time of Concentration (T c ) The storm rainfall Intensity used in Rational Method will be selected based upon the return interval of the storm to be used (specified in the Storm Frequency Table above), and the duration of the storm to be used (based on the study basin s time of concentration). Time of Concentration (T c ) is defined as the length of time it takes a drop of water to travel from the most hydraulically remote portion of the drainage basin to its outlet. T c is a property of the drainage basin reflective of its area, shape, surface gradient, land use, land cover, and soil type. T c (in minutes) may be estimated from the following equation: Where: T c = Length/(Velocity * 60) + 10 Length = Velocity = Flow distance (feet) Flow velocity (fps) [see following table] Page 21 of 44

22 Flow Condition Shallow overland flow in undefined channels Flow in street curb & gutter or road ditches Flow in shallow ditches Flow in defined channels Flow in closed conduit storm sewers Representative Velocities 0.25 to 0.50 fps 0.75 to 1.25 fps 1.5 to 3.0 fps 2.0 to 4.0 fps 3.0 to 5.0 fps The constant value of 60 in this equation is used to convert seconds to minutes and 10 is used as an estimate of initial delay between the start of rainfall and development of actual surface runoff. This method can be applied fairly accurately to large and small basins with either undeveloped or developed surfaces. However, the designer must specify the flow condition and estimated flow velocities for each flow domain on the site (i.e., the first 100 is overland flow followed by 250 in a gutter followed by 400 in closed conduit, etc.) and estimate time of concentration as the sum of all these individual flow conditions. The flow path used as the basis of this calculation should be clearly denoted on the plans with the associated design calculations. Another method that can be used to estimate time of concentration for developed areas (i.e., storm sewer projects) is in the following form: Where: T c = 10*(A) A = Drainage Basin area (acres) This method accurately estimates T c for sewered projects; however it tends to underestimate actual T c for basins with significant overland flow or open ditch flow, and therefore may overestimate peak runoff flow rates for these basins. Alternative methods for estimating the basin s time of concentration will be accepted for reviewed by the City, and may be allowed for use if the method s applicability to a specific situation warrants its use over the methods presented. Storm Intensity (I) For small watersheds and individual developments, the storm intensity should be based upon the time of concentration of the basin being analyzed. For example, in the design of a detention facility serving a basin with a 2-hour time of concentration, an Intensity for a 100-year, 2-hour storm should be selected for use in the analysis. For large watersheds and regional studies, use a 24-hour duration storm for the analysis and design. Appropriate design storm intensities are shown in ATTACHMENT C for various return interval storms. Page 22 of 44

23 V. HYDRAULICS Hydraulics is the study of fluid flow behavior. Policy makers and engineers must study and understand hydraulics because they are responsible for designing and constructing conveyance and storage facilities capable of managing storm water runoff in a safe and effective manner while reducing the potential for flooding. The following sections discuss specific methods and parameters to be used in analyzing proposed developments in the City s service area. Open Channel Flow The vast majority of conveyance capacity within the City s service area is located in the network of open channels that the City builds and maintains. The Chezy-Manning equation will be used to estimate a ditch s conveyance capacity. This equation is in the following form: Where: Q = 1.486/n * A * R 2/3 * S 1/2 n = A = R = S = Manning s Roughness Coefficient (unitless) Flow Cross-sectional area (sf) Hydraulic Radius (ft) Slope of the Hydraulic Grade Line (ft/ft) Typical values for Manning s n are included in ATTACHMENT B. The flow area (A) is estimated from the ditch cross-section, and is the area that will be conveying water (also called the wet area). The hydraulic radius is calculated as the wetted area divided by the wetted perimeter. The wetted perimeter is defined as the length of water/surface interface around the perimeter of the wetted area (does not include the water/air interface length). For open channels, the slope of the hydraulic grade line is estimated to be the same as the ditch slope. Closed Conduit (Pipe) Flow The Chezy-Manning equation presented earlier is also applicable for estimating flow capacity for closed conduits (i.e., pipes). There are some important distinctions to remember, including: Manning s n for pipe materials are significantly different (i.e., smaller) than those for bare earth or vegetative surfaces. See ATTACHMENT B for appropriate n values. The assumption of hydraulic grade line slope being approximately equal to the pipe slope is only valid under free flow conditions. Once the pipe is full and experiences surcharge conditions, the hydraulic grade line slope will increase as flow increases. Page 23 of 44

24 VI. DETENTION FACILITIES The intention of storm water detention is to mitigate increases in peak flow rates resulting from new development, redevelopment or in-fill development on an existing drainage system. Storm water detention volume is based on increased impervious cover and is calculated at the minimum rates set forth herein. Additional mitigation may also be required at the discretion of the City Engineer if upgrades to the storm conveyance system (i.e. larger storm sewers or channels) are anticipated to have a significant impact on downstream facilities. To meet the City s requirements for zero net increase in runoff rates and no negative impacts to an existing drainage system or the immediately adjacent properties due to new development, redevelopment or in-fill development, projects will need to provide one or a combination of on-site detention facilities, Low Impact Development measures, or offsite improvements to outfall systems. If Redevelopment occurs without increasing the overall impervious character of the site, then no detention will be required by the City. Each detention facility should be designed based upon site specific parameters and constraints using accepted engineering methods. The City will not allow in-line storage within City ditches or channels. No approvals will be given by the City for any proposed development until staff has been satisfied that the proposed design meets the City s requirements. The following paragraphs describe general design requirements and allowable methods for generating appropriate designs. General Requirements (1) As shown in the storm frequency table earlier, detention facilities must be designed to provide enough storage to accommodate a 100-year event for the subarea it is intended to serve. (2) Detention facilities may be designed to be wet (constant level ponds) or may be designed to drain completely. A wet detention facility must provide for aeration or pumping and must achieve an acceptable design that will prevent the breeding of mosquitoes and other insects. Engineer to provide the manufacturer s specifications and data for the proposed aeration system and calculations to support the adequacy of the number and size of aerators provided to support the size and depth of the proposed wet detention basin. (3) Detention facilities must: (a) Be designed and constructed with stable slopes (no greater than 4:1) (b) Provide adequate access and maintenance berms around the entire perimeter (10 minimum for ponds less than 1 acre and 20 minimum for ponds larger than 1 acre); (c) Have erosion control elements (i.e., backslope swales, drop pipes, slope pavement, etc.) as necessary to ensure a stable, low maintenance facility.
